Antardhwani has members who are involved in four Art forms, namely:
Our goal is to provide a platform to the students where they can showcase their talent and also build relationships with other colleges and students which are based on any Art-be it Dance, Dramatics, Music or Fashion through active participation and interactive measures.

Our theme for the street play was LGBT, a difficult yet powerful theme and so was our performance. We were able to maintain the incessantness among the crowd and our performance turned out to be unassailable.

Our theme was Bollywood and our team performed a medley, a refined mix of new and vintage Bollywood songs. The foot tapping performances left a frolicsome smile on everyone’s faces.
Events organized:
New Year Events
On the eve of New Year several games were conducted for the students by Antardhwani, the cultural club of SIBM Hyderabad. These events acted as a good refresher from the normal mundane routines of the students. The events were as follows:
This game was played in pairs. Each pair was given a list of songs where one had to enact the hook step of the song and the other person had to guess the song based on that. The participant doing the hook step had to wear a mask throughout to avoid whispering/lip syncing. And the participant guessing the song had to wear a headphone where a completely different song was played in order to distract the participant as well as to avoid if the audience guesses the song. A song could be played only for 15 seconds after which the songs were changed. The maximum number of songs guessed by a pair in 60 seconds would win the game.
In this game any random people from the audience had to dance to the song played and as soon as the song stops, they had to freeze in their position however they were dancing. One person from Antardhwani, had to make them laugh/move without physical contact. The last one to stay still would win the game.
